[PATCH] vfs: fix vmplice_to_user()

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

Commit 6130f5315ee8 "switch vmsplice_to_user() to copy_page_to_iter()" in
v3.15-rc1 broke vmsplice(2).

This patch fixes two bugs:

 - count is not initialized to a proper value, which resulted in no data
   being copied

 - if rw_copy_check_uvector() returns negative then the iov might be leaked.

Tested OK.
